| Notes |
The first cohort will be led by Nigel Jacob, co-founder of New Urban Mechanics in Boston, a Governing 2011 Public Official of the Year and a pioneer of breakthrough innovation in local government. Participating cities will receive direct support from Nigel, along with additional technical assistance and targeted implementation resources. In addition, they will engage with one another and with other PMI cities to accelerate learning across the cohort. The Accelerator will also produce a guidebook to help these three cities and others adopt this practice, and it will capture learnings from their efforts to inform the broader field. |
